Magnetic spinning toy

ABSTRACT

A magnetic spinning toy comprising: a top magnetic assembly; a bottom magnetic assembly; a rod, wherein said rod extends between the top magnetic assembly and bottom magnetic assembly; a plurality of rotating wings mounted on the rod between the top magnetic assembly and bottom magnetic assembly; and a mounting arm, wherein the mounting arm receives top magnetic assembly, the plurality of rotating wings and bottom magnetic assembly. The top and bottom magnetic assemblies preferably also include a copper tube with embedded magnets, wherein the embedded magnets include a donut magnet at one end of the copper tube and additional magnets at the mid point and opposite end of the copper tube.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a magnetic spinning toy, which spinsaround a rod due to wind and magnetic force.

Description of Related Art

Spinning toys are a common device that are used to entertain children ofvarious ages. Typically spinning toys are carousels or spinning objectsabout a rod or a pole. Various types of force are used with these toysincluding manual and wind force. Further magnetic force may be used insome applications in order to facilitate the movement of a spinning toy.Implementation of magnetics along with wind can provide a sustainedspinning toy using various type of force and pressure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a magnetic spinning toy comprising: atop magnetic assembly; a bottom magnetic assembly; a rod, wherein saidrod extends between the top magnetic assembly and bottom magneticassembly; a plurality of rotating wings mounted on the rod between thetop magnetic assembly and bottom magnetic assembly; and a mounting arm,wherein the mounting arm receives top magnetic assembly, the pluralityof rotating wings and bottom magnetic assembly. The top and bottommagnetic assemblies preferably also include a copper tube with embeddedmagnets, wherein the embedded magnets include a donut magnet at one endof the copper tube and additional magnets at the mid point and oppositeend of the copper tube.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a magnetic spinning toy that utilizes aplurality of wings spinning around a rod. This grouping of wings isattached to the rod the way a wheel and spoke like configuration. Spokessuspend from a center disk with a wing attached at a distal end of thespoke. Each wing is configured in a manner to facilitate pivoting andmovement to optimize the position of the wing in relation to wind force.This wing configuration is placed on a rod at the center point between atop magnetic assembly and a bottom magnetic assembly. The top and bottommagnetic assemblies influence the pivot points of the wings to provideoptimum positioning to come in contact with wind force. This optimizingof the spinning toy therefore enables a user to create a spinning wheelof wings advantageously using wind optimized by the magnetic forcebetween the top magnetic assembly and bottom magnetic assembly. Thiscomplete assembly is placed on a mounting arm and therefore creates aunique and effective entertainment toy for a child.

In reference to FIG. 1, a magnetic spinning toy in accordance with thepresent invention is depicted. The magnetic spinning toy includes a topmagnetic assembly 17 and a bottom magnetic assembly 19. The magneticassemblies are mounted on a rod 25 with a plurality of rotating wings 20positioned on the rod 25 extending from a center disk. The top magneticassembly 17 includes copper tubing 12. This copper tubing 12 includes adoughnut magnet 15 at the bottom of the top magnetic assembly 19. Withinthe copper tubing 12 are magnets 10. As a result, magnetic forces aregenerated within the copper tubing 12 to influence the positioning ofwings 20. A similar magnetic assembly 19 is provided at the bottom ofthe rod 25. This magnetic assembly 19 includes copper tubing 14 with adoughnut magnet 15 at the top of the magnetic assembly 19. Furthermagnets 10 are embedded within the copper tubing 14.

The wings 20 are further shown in FIG. 2 with a focused or close updepiction of an individual wing 20 a. The wing 20 a as shown includes awing-shaped top surface 31 that pivots about a pivot point 35. String 34is also included through openings provided within the wing 20 a. Furthershown in this FIG. 2 is the wind direction 33 across the top surface ofthe wing 20 a. As a result, the wing 20 a pivots across the pivot point35 to provide directional application of force onto the wing 20 a. Thispivot point 35 is also influenced by the magnetic forces between the topmagnetic assembly 17 and the bottom magnetic assembly 19. Therefore, itincreases the application of wind force onto the wings and as a resultincrease speed of rotation of the wing assembly around the rod 25. Amounting pole 40 is also provided as shown in FIG. 1. This mounting pole40 includes a top receiver 42 and base 44. The mounting pole arm 40receives the assembly of top magnetic assembly 17 and bottom magneticassembly 19 through a top connector 24 and bottom connector 22. As aresult, this complete magnetic spinning toy provides a novel andinteresting configuration of entertainment for any child. Further thepivoting of a wing enables the toy to position for the best angle toreceive wind force for spinning purposes. The instant invention has beenshown and described in what it considers to be the most practical andpreferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may bemade there from within the scope of the invention and that obviousmodifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
